You should get a status screen of ecasound operation that is updated once
a second. You can exit and restart the ecasound instance and
netecimonitor will try to reconnect automatically to the new server
instance. If you run ecasound without --daemon, everything works like
before.

NetECI binds to the TCP port 2868 and is able to handle multiple clients
at the same time. While it does work, the server currently crashes once in
a while for some unknown reason. I suspect there're problems in the
multithread locking code.
